"Tittle Tattle!" said Black Shoes;
"Moon-slaked leaves," said Green.
Buds are hot for fingers
Where the gray wasp lingers.
"Tittle tattle!" said Black Shoes;
"Honeysweet," said Gold.
Plant a sprig of willow.
For the lone dove's pillow.
"Tittle tattle!" said Black Shoes;
"Wild plum bloom," said Red
Clay is cold for grasses
When the young sun passes.
"Tittle tattle!" said Black Shoes;
"Lily's heart," said White.
Bones are sweet for grinding
When linen's torn for winding.
"Tittle tattle!" said Black Shoes.
